Hey.

Not sure whether this has been pointed out / discussed here already (but
I guess Perry will reject my mail in case it has):

This makes NIST seem somehow like liars,... on the one hand they claim
to surprised by the alleged NSA-conspiracy around Dual_EC_DRBG and that
this would be against their intentions... on the other hand it looks as
if they'd be trying the same thing again.


Cheers,
Chris.
